I think what you did was a good thing. I disagree with the stupidity of you having unprotected sex, but at the same time your reactions to a situation that was “way above your maturity level” were good. I hope that you now understand that actions have consequences, and I do not say that in a malicious way, just that for people to learn they either have to fall on their face or watch someone else fall on their face. You took one for the team and fell on your face, and that is a very noble thing to do, even though it was unintentional. Hopefully now people around you will know to take precautions. I think that abortions are something that benefits some people, but on the other hand I am worried that it encourages stupidity and irresponsibility. It always amazes me that people will go out and have unprotected sex without the intention of bringing a child into this world. Many people will scrounge up the money to have an abortion, but will not pay the small price for condoms or even go into a planned parenthood office to get free condoms. Of course there are more options than condoms but the point of birth control being a lot cheaper than an abortion or a child is still valid.
My fear with making abortions quick and easy is that it provides a backdoor to women who made a mistake. Of course we should help them with whatever we can, but we have to be very careful so that being irresponsible isn’t seen as something that is ok, or encouraged. I understand that the decision to have an abortion is a large and difficult one, and that nobody takes it casually. I also understand that some women are not fit to be mothers, but my question is then why do they not use birth control?
